Washington, December 5, 2019 – On Friday, Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli performed a concert in the East Room of the White House for US President Donald Trump, who gathered for this occasion all Republicans in the House of Representatives, and some of the senators closest to the president and First Lady Melania Trump.
“We will hear a voice, the voice of an angel,” Trump said, introducing the Italian before his presentation. “It is a voice that only a few people have access to.”
In addition, the president praised Bocelli for the presentation he made at the Kennedy Center this morning regarding the 2026 World Cup draw, saying: “It was unbelievable, a great honor.”
After that, Trump celebrated with the presence of the majority of Republican senators and representatives at the event, and then the ceremony began without the presence of the press.
This is the second time that Bocelli has visited Trump at the presidential residence in less than two months since last October 17, when he visited the Oval Office, where he sang privately for Qutb.
During his speech tonight, Trump added that in addition to Bocelli, he had other opera singers as friends, and highlighted Luciano Pavarotti, another Italian singer who died in 2007 from pancreatic cancer. Evie
